SECTION 5 − OPERATION 5-1. Plasma Cutting System Practices The pilot arc starts immediately when trigger is pressed. Always connect work clamp to a clean, DO NOT start pilot arc without cutting or paint-free location on workpiece, as close to gouging as this shortens the service life cutting area as possible.
5-2. Sequence Of Cutting Operation Connect work clamp to a clean, paint-free For standard (shielded) cutting, place drag shield on edge location on workpiece, as close to cutting of metal. For extended (non-shielded) cutting, use 1/8 in. area as possible. (3.2 mm) standoff distance (dragging tip will reduce tip life).
5-3. Sequence Of Piercing Operation The pilot arc starts immediately when trigger is pressed. Connect work clamp to a clean, paint-free Hold torch at approximately 45 location on workpiece, as close to cutting to the workpiece. Raise trigger area as possible. lock and press trigger.

6-3. Checking/Replacing Retaining Cup, Tip, And Electrode Overtightening will strip threads. Do not overtighten retaining cup during assembly. Do not cross-thread parts causing stripping. Use care during torch assembly and parts replacement. Inspect shield cup, tip, and electrode for wear before cutting or whenever cutting speed has been signifi- cantly reduced.
6-4. Troubleshooting Trouble Remedy Arc goes on and off while cutting. Torch travel speed too slow; increase travel speed (see Section 5-2). Clean or replace torch consumables as necessary (see Section6-3). Be sure work clamp is securely attached to workpiece. Arc goes out while cutting.
